General & Others Oda just told us the Gorosei will be on the front lines for the EoS war.

[Celestial D. Dragon]

So we just learned that there is a hierarchy when it comes to who has control over the Seraphims. It goes The Gorosei, then Vegapunk, then Sentomaru, and then anyone with a command chip.

The interesting thing here, is that we also have found out that commands can not be issued over Den Den Mushis. With Vegapunk pretty much becoming an ally with the Straw Hats, the only way for the Seraphims at this point to be able to be a factor for the World Government in the EoS war, is if the Gorosei are there and are directly giving orders. This all but confirms the Gorosei will play an antagonistic combative role, at some point in story.

Gorosei vs The 5 Supernovas who spearhead the new era maybe?
Because if the final arc is a re-run of Skypeia as i expect, they can maybe play the role of Imu's priests, like Enel's.
I doubt they'd be a huge challenge/final arc matchups though.

 

[Salah WG]

Imo Next Villain is Imu
Gorosei are like his Priests

Ghandi can Fight and will be similar to Yama in Skypiea, other Four can't fight but each will Control one Seraphim as their Bodyguard

However the Next Top Executives are gonna be Lucci, Kong and Former Warden who were all Promoted from Marine HQ, ID and Enies Lobby

Lucci is currently treated as YC3 of WG, who is fought before Main Event, similar to Mr. 3, Satori and Jack ... etc

As for Match-Ups (Just my Guess)

Gorosei imo will be attacked by BBP (Level 6 Prisoners specifically)

Shiryu will defeat Ghandi and bully him
Devon will fight Seraphim Hancock
Other Three will fight other Seraphim

As for Kong and Former Impel Down Warden
They need to be defeated by Top Tiers, so there are multiple candidates including:

Blackbeard, Aokiji, Sabo, Dragon, Shanks, Beckman, Mihawk ... etc depending on which Faction will the Arc focus on

 

[HA001]

I told yall ghandi a top tier
HE HAS A SAJIO

@TheAncientCenturion eat shit

 

[Lor D. Coast]

They don't need to leave their room to have a couple of Seraphim under their control.

You look at this and you already know who's the fighter, there's no reason to think that the others are stronger than Drake.

I've personally always believed the Final War is a 2 parter: Vs. Marines and Vs. The WG itself. Gorosei being a central focus afterwards totally works.

Lucci is half admiral level superior to YC1

 

[OnePiss]

The Gorosei are the Enel priests

Imu is Enel

 

[L55]

It makes sense they are fighters lol
One of them has a supreme cursed grade blade.

 

[Salah WG]

Lucci is half admiral level superior to YC1

Did i say otherwise?

 

[kom5]

Did i say otherwise?

sry I thought you meant equal to YC3

 

[Flower]

Definitely. And they will be much more formidable than the villains before them. You don‘t rule the world without being an incredible fighter in a Shonen series. The other CDs are trash, though.

 

[Salah WG]

sry I thought you meant equal to YC3

No i just meant he is Mary Geoise Third or Fourth Strongest

 

[Roo]

The WG’s having 5 admiral level characters is ridiculous

 

[kom5]

The WG’s having 5 admiral level characters is ridiculous

they are prob Marco level

 

[AkainuTheGrimReaper]

The WG’s having 5 admiral level characters is ridiculous

make you wonder why they are not defending homeland when sabo and his friends literally blow celestial dragon building .
‘Or help garp to defeat rock xebec without needing Roger help .

 

[Paperchampion23]

The WG’s having 5 admiral level characters is ridiculous

I think it's appropriate given their standing.

I think the Marines are mainly reserved for the crew (Akainu + Admirals), but the Gorosei + Im can be for the Rooftop 5 and Sanji. It's not that outlandish considering who Luffy will ally with in the endgame, and I don't even think they are the actual end because Ghandi or Fuji likely won't be Zoro's last fights anyway.

 

[Nidai_Kitetsu]

Good point Celestial. If Gorosei are strong, then the entire dynamics of the final war change.

Do you think the Gorosei will fight the strawhats? If yes, who will be the first to fall? Gorosei or Blackbeard pirates?

 

[Lor D. Coast]

The WG’s having 5 admiral level characters is ridiculous

And that's why they aren't top tier level, the WG needed the Warlords to help the Navy rival the 4 Yonkou but now they have 10+ top tier characters ready to fight?

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Yeah, the Gorosei should be top tiers at the very least. With the huge amount of allies on the Strawhats, having as much top tier antagonists on the opposing side is to be expected. I hope that the Gorosei will take commands of the Seraphims in the Final War cuz having Seraphims on the Strawhats side will just be redundant.
